Supporting Families - Parent Club Back to School and Transition Advice
As the school holidays draw to a close, it’s completely natural for both children and parents to feel a mix of excitement and anxiety, especially when starting P1 or S1. Children may have questions, and parents may not always have the answers.
To help ease the transition, we have compiled a range of useful resources, tips, and guidance to support families in preparing for the new school term. These materials offer practical advice on managing back-to-school anxiety, addressing common worries, and creating a smoother start for everyone.
